Lofton leads off...and takes ball one. Beckett goes 3-0. Beckett recovers to get him on a fly to left at 3-1. Lofton pays a visit to the mound as he heads back to the dugout. Typical baseball jawing, little else. Just a thought, but when Manny's on your team, you might want to be slow to criticize other hot dogs.
Ball one to Gutierrez. On 3-2, Josh's 6th K, this one looking.
Blake's up...and ball 1. No first pitch strikes this inning. At 2-0 Blake singles to center. Josh had retired nine in a row before this hit.
Top of the order and Sizemore now. There's a first pitch strike. On the second pitch, a seeing-eye single between Pedroia and Lugo; Blake to 3rd.
Cabrera is next. He fouled a curve for strike one. Gas for strike two. And on the third pitch, you, young Mr. Cabrera, may be seated.
Josh is stunning!
Inning: 19 pitches, 11 strikes; game, 67 pitches, 46 strikes. Longest inning in this game, and he still has thrown 26 pitches fewer than Sabathia.
